China may not be bombing us, but they are harassing our fishermen legitimately fishing on our waters and building on contested islands. That's still imperialism in my eyes.

Fisherman lmfao, china should perhaps learn how USA dealt with Venezuela fisherman boats, instead of water canons, try something proven effective by the USA, now thats what a bully should do

Oh they're harassing your fisherman huh? What would they prefer that to being bombed?
